    Friday One Sheet: The Future (and the Past…)

    0

     
     

    To all the design nerds out there, please sound off on the poster for the new Miranda July film. Is it good design or simply chock-a-block of good design cliches? White background, upside down image, oversized clean font breaking the words into the next line (and text over face which I supposed we can blame The Social Network for making this the biggest trend in one-sheets these days). The poster is fine in the sense that it is not a photoshop floaty-heads disaster, but at this point can we call a poster bad for being simply an amalgam of good posters?

    Friday One Sheet: Goooooooooold

    Perhaps one of the least consistent directors working today Lee Tamahori who goes from quality like Once Were Warriors and The Edge to crap like XxX and perhaps the worst Bond film ever, Die Another Day, has made a film on Saddam Hussein’s eldest son. The folks at Lionsgate apparently, think the film is golden.

    Friday One Sheet: Boutique Romero

    The boutique poster market has been growing in leaps and bounds. Kicked off by Tyler Stout et al. and the Alamo Drafthouse, this little niche has been spreading steadily for years. There are several great designers right here in Toronto, including Justin Erickson of Phantom City Creative who did all those lovely one-sheets for Twitch’s Back to the 80s series. This one, for George Romero’s classic Night of the Living Dead, is $25, and golly, I’m tempted to buy it.

    The best way to use movie stills in a poster to date. I’m digging this very busy-by-design poster.

    Friday One Sheet: A Cross to Bear

    3

    There is very little to get me excited about yet another crappy Pirates of the Caribbean picture. In fact it kind of disgusts me (especially in color-desaturated, blurry, headache inducing, more expensive 3D). That said, if there is one thing that will make 3D actually kind of work for me and will likely get me to fork over the ten bucks…

    Let it be said that I am amused.

    Friday One Sheet: Source Code

    Whether the film itself falls on the side of hollywood excess, or in the case of Duncan Jones’ first feature, Moon, restrained class, I simply have to say that this is a handsome One-Sheet. Check out the details here in something so minimal: The 8 on the clock is also ‘broken-infinity’ (loops of time), the clock is actually railway tracks (a train features heavily in the film), the shadows are cast in two directions and form hands on the clock. Nice.

    They’ve got my money at the cinema for this one.

    (Thanks to Mondo and artist Ollie Moss for this.)

    Friday One Sheet: Adjusting Michael Clayton

    10

     
     

    An amusing poster considering the Ocean’s 11, 12, 13 actors club, as well as director Tony Gilroy of the Bourne Franchise. The pushed-back Matt Damon science fiction film (based on a Philip K. Dick novel) is now officially associated with the Tony Gilroy directed, George Clooney starring existential legal thriller, Michael Clayton. At least by way of advertising key-art. In this case, however, they left Damon’s face in focus, even though his future is being re-written.

    A simple but effective use of photoshop makes for a nice poster. Eva Green’s dramatic facial feature lend itself to the camera a bit more than the even more exaggerated Anne Hathaway (Visually, for one reason or another I often compare the two actresses.) Oh, and it does not hurt that the film is pretty solid too (Kurt’s TIFF 2009 Review)

    Sometimes, simplicity is the best thing in marketing. Black and white with a little well-placed red (which not only colour the roses, but give them the appearance of actually bleeding) give the gist of this tale, an internet relationship gone bad. I am not sure about David Schwimmer as a director, but he has a good publicity team on this one. Either way, I have not tired of ‘online terminal’ styled fonts yet, so nothing really to complain about here. Oh, and that is oneheckuva good cast.
